READING: Breathe by Brian C. Petti

When an autistic woman, after a strange encounter with a county fair clown, wakes up the next morning without autism, she and her parents have to come to grips with this new reality. As both father and mother get to know their non-autistic daughter and her excitement, they must come to grips with redefining everyone’s roles in this family. Breathe is about the nature of parenthood and redefining oneself in the face of ever-changing familial relationships.
